Disclosure and fine print from David Akin

The posts on this blog were created and maintained by David Akin while he was the national bureau chief for Sun Media and host of Battleground on Sun News Network.

Akin received no fees, considerations, etc. for the posts on this blog other than the salary paid to him by Sun Media and Sun News Network. Sun News Network closed on Feb. 13, 2015 and Akin left the company.
Both those companies are/were owned by Quebecor Inc. As a publicly traded Canadian company, Quebecor must disclose financial and other information. You can monitor those disclosures at Quebecor's Web site.
Quebecor announced in 2014 that it was selling Sun Media to Postmedia Inc. That transaction was expected to close in the spring of 2015.

You may see advertisements at this blog. I have no control over the placement or selection of that advertising. Both Sun Media and Sun News Network earned the money to pay Akin's salary and the costs of hosting this blog by selling advertising.

At the time of his departure from the company, Akin was not, nor has he ever been during his 30 years as a professional journalist, a member of any political party. No member of his immediate family is a member of or campaigns on behalf of any political party. Neither Akin nor anyone in his immediate family own shares or equity in any corporation or business, my employer's included. Any investments I have are in widely-held mutual funds.
